Error in mapping German webcam to Somalian locations
-
Some issues in the mapping of images. Looks like some German webcams showing winter snow have been linked to locations in Somalia. Somalia is a very hot country and snow has probably not fallen in these places in recorded history.!
Pics attached

@bodoi Hello, thank you for letting us know. I have corrected the webcams near coast.

Hi Korina
Windy is such a great resource :-) I am happy to be able to provide useful feedback.

PS. during COVID-19 lockdown here in Australia I have shared Windy with other housebound colleagues and friends. The displays, including the webcams are such a nice way to "dream and escape" whilst otherwise confined. -
Hi Korina
I checked again today. There are still a lot of snowy webcams in the Somalia area. I have attached two examples taken today at 5.45UTC
Actually there are quite a few more "Autobahn" webcam pics along the Indian Ocean shores of Somalia. Please check this yourself. These are near Dharinbaar.
I don't know what is happening here.

Bodo

@bodoi I have fixed those as well.

Hi Korina
Sorry for this third email correspondence on the same topic. But there are still problems with German webcam's mapping to Somalia and the coast of Somalia
I have attached an image from today as I look at windy on an almost daily basis

PS. I will not add to this post in future as I do not want to be a "pain". I hope you and other windy administrators will keep an eye on these "rogue" webcam sites. -

@bodoi Thank you. We will check the source itself and correct all of them at once.

Thanks Korina
